Millions of people are entitled to government grants and benefits this month to help with the cost-of-living crisis. Energy bills have peaked at an all-time high this winter, but experts predict another price hike isn't likely for now.
Martin Lewis says there is an "85% likelihood" that annual energy bills will remain at £2,500 rather than increasing to £3,000 from April. It comes amid reports firms already expect government support to be maintained at or near the current level.
However, people are still struggling to make ends meet amid soaring food bills and rising mortgage rates. Grocery price inflation has reached a record 17.1%, which means the average annual household is forking out an additional £811 on shopping bills.
